The Democratic National Committee and more than three dozen groups are planning events across 20 states on Saturday, according to details first shared with NBC News.

Dozens of liberal groups unveiled plans Tuesday to hold around 50 events across 20 states to protest Republican redistricting efforts in Texas backed by President Donald Trump.

The demonstrations scheduled for Saturday — branded as “Fight the Trump Takeover” — are being organized by more than three dozen groups, including the Democratic National Committee, according to plans shared first with NBC News.

“Trump knows the only way he can hold the majority after his budget betrayal is by changing the rules in the middle of the game to avoid accountability for ripping health care and food away from millions of Americans,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement, referring to Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill that he signed into law last month.

    Bub…

    You think every person not taking AIPAC money is on that list?

    Even if it was, 3x is a pretty big difference.

    But hey, if youre cool with people lying to depress Dem turnout, well, I’m disappointed

        My understanding is it’s a list of people who made the pledge…

        They don’t research all 400+ members of Congress and compile a list

        Going on that list takes an explicit action, the pledge.

        It seems likely there would be a few who don’t take the money, but also don’t take the pledge.

        You telling me you think every politician has a spine?
